in Philadelphia, at least those
who have entered the new
headquarters are proud and
vet surprised at the character of the
place. Proud that their order can
boast ownership of it and is able to
provide such quarters for its general
offices and surprised that an organiza-
tion of workingmen entertaining prin-
ciplcs of the plainest and most practi-
cal sort imaginable, should give coun-
tenance to luxury and extravaganza by
fitting up its central Office
in the style of the North Broad street
establishment. The building, with its
brown stone front, elegant furnishings

ready been described. How its floors

A Bloody AHfsy,

DENVER, March "A telegram from
Wallace to the Associated Press says
of the bloody affair at Coronado, Wich-
tia County: On Sunday seven men,
Chas. Coulter, Bill RaynOr, Frank
Jenness, Geo. E. Watkins, EN-. Dun
ming, A. n. Boorey, and-JOhnson, left
Leoti and went to Coronado, some of
Three of them were armed.
They took beer with them
and after arriving there proceeded to
drink with some of the Coronado boys.
They soon quarrelled, and Coulter and
Ole Loomis drew their revolvers and
began shooting. This was the signal
for the war to begin, and the
Coronado men opened on the
Leoti crowd from windows and
selected places. Coulter, Rains and
LOOMS fell, the first two dead, and the
last with a leg and arm broken. The
Coronado fellows then turned on the
other Leoti men, who had got in their
their lives. Winchesters were
used freely and three Leoti men
were shot out of the buggy.
The team, wounded, ran away to LeOti.
Only two of the men got in with it.
The others were picked up and taken
to town. Watkins died yesterday.
Boree, Johnson and Loomis are ex-
pected to die. Both towns are sur
rounded by guards and no one is al.
lowed to enter who is not well
known. Both sides are fully
provided with ammunition. The
bodies of Coulter and Watkins
were brought to Wallace last night and
taken east for burial. Watkins was
married and his body was accompanied
by his wife. They were from Illinois
COulter's body was taken by his sister
to Russell. Kansas. Raynor was
| buried at Leoti. The end is not yet.

diately snatched the revolver out OF the
Lieutenant hands and placed him
under arrest. The American officers
started for the main street of the town.
The Lieutenant called on some
other Mexican soldiers concealed
in the dry bed of the creek to release
him. They ran to the Americans and
one of the soldiers covering Littlepage
with his rifle. demanded the release of
his Lieutenant. Sheriff Speed COM
manded Littlepage to fire upon the
soldiers and Immediately fired himself
at the soldiers who had Littlepage COW
cred. The soldiers also fired at Little
page, but the latter knocked the gun
aside and at the same time drawing his
revolver he fired. The firing then be-
came general between the three officers

Then the stock yards to be located at
this place by the Atchison, Topeka s.

have been carried by an almost unani-
nous vote, will cut quite figure in the
way of adding to our population and
wealth, as it will without doubt fur
nish near and good market for all
country produce and grain, mot to speak
of the probable immense trade in live
stock which it will develop.
RESUME.
The above are only few of the many
advantages enjoyed by our city, which
so far as location and natural advan-
tages are concerned, has no peer in the
west. That the city is alive to these
advantages enumerated above, and
that citizens elsewhere are likewise
aware of our assured prosperity, is eV-
ident from the fact that capitalists
from abroad are arriving on every
train, who are anxiously looking for
investment of their money in real es-
tate and other investments in our
midst. That the latter assertion is a
fact may be verified by perusal Of our
real estate transfers, which will be
found in another column.
